In this latest podcast, Andrew tells the story of Kevin, who becomes an "Assignment Addict" by never refusing an assignment.
Kevin initially helps his colleague Trevor's boss with a minor web assignment, which impresses his own boss and leads to new opportunities.
This story highlights the potential benefits of accepting new assignments, such as strengthening relationships, showcasing talent, learning opportunities, and being seen as a can-do person.
Andrew also provides guidance on how to say "No" to a new assignment when necessary.
As part of being an assignment addict, Andrew recommends that you give your boss regular details about your current work schedule limitations. Can you explain the likely impact of any new assignment on output, and offer alternative solutions or suggestions?
In particular, raise promptly any concerns about new work and offer assistance options that help avoid missed deadlines and maintain good working relationships.
To show commitment to new assignments, Andrew advises preparing well. That means showing enthusiasm, making genuine comments, demonstrating interest, offering suggestions, understanding expectations, establishing communication channels, being punctual, delivering quality results, maintaining positive behaviour, avoiding comparisons, and seeking help when needed.
The critical takeaway is to be selective in evaluating assignments. For instance, analysing the opportunities and threats they present.
It's also important to consider how an assignment supports the organisation's goals and to decline an assignment, if necessary, by offering solutions rather than simply refusing.
You aim to become an "Assignment Addict" known to embrace new opportunities rather than declining them.
